MOE:

So the guy goes to the doctor for

a physical... they do all those

tests, all that stuff, blah, blah,

blah...

BB enters the scene and goes over and gets himself a cup

of coffee.

MOE:

... Doctor says 'when we get all

the information back, we'll give

you a call.' Leaves the doctor.

One day the telephone rings...

the guy goes and picks it up.

CHEESE:

MOE:

That's right, the guy picks it up.

He gets a phone call... it's the

doctor on the line. Doctor says

'I've got some bad news and some

worse news.'

BB join the tin men to listen to Moe's joke.

MOE:

Guy says 'Well, let me hear the

bad news first.' 'The bad news

is, you've got twenty-four hours

to live.' The guy says 'What's

the worse news?' Doctor says

'I forgot to call you yesterday.'

They all laugh. LOONEY, a thin guy who twitches and

blinks a lot, stands up.

LOONEY:

It's good... I like it.

CHEESE:

I never heard bad news and worse

news... smart joke.

LOONEY:

Yeah... I like it.

CARLY:

It's dumb, but good.

BB, who is not laughing, stands behind Cheese who throws

50 cents into the card game.

CHEESE:

Up it fifty cents.

LOONEY:

I call... I call. I'm in on this

one... I call.

MOE:

We get it, you're calling.

CARLY:

I'm not sure.

BB:

Stay with him.

CARLY:

I don't know.

CARLY:

I'm out.

BB:

Ballsy move.

Moe throws his hand in, too.

MOE:

(to BB)

Did you get the new Cadillac?

BB:

Yeah. It's already been hit.

MOE:

What?

BB:

Didn't have it five minutes,

backing out of the place, and a

guy comes out of nowhere and

bangs into my car.

LOONEY:

So, what ya got?

Cheese throws his hand down.

CHEESE:

Pair of sixes.

LOONEY:

Jacks. Win.

CARLY:
